I have also been considering fender stripes. With white, I am leaning towards red with black edges. The look I like best is the back one slightly larger and only on the driver side.

Very subtle.

Hey XLR8BYU I see you have the vent where you front licence plate goes. Is that self made or store bought?

Fender Decals are modeled after the distinguishing left front fender hash marks, found on both the legendary 1963 and 1996 Grand Sports.
